Stranger Things Season 4 new cast list: Who are the actors and where have you seen them before?

The clock is ticking and it's nearly time for Netflix to drop the highly-awaited Season 4 of Stranger Things in a two-part format.

After a three-year-long wait, the 80s-themed, supernatural sci-fi drama will be dropping its Season 4 Vol. 1 this May 27, taking the audience on an adventure more thrilling than ever. It has been revealed on various occasions that the upcoming season will have a plot bigger, creepier, and darker than the previous ones.

Creating a Stephen King-like atmosphere yet again, the show's return also means that fans will likely see all their favorite teen characters back in action after Season 3's rather heartbreaking finale and the departure of the Byers along with Eleven from Hawkins.

Even though he's already played a few prominent parts, Quinn is still considered a rising star in the acting world. He starred in the 2018 film Overlord and played a soldier called Koner in the Game of Thrones season 7 episode The Spoils of War. Arthur Havisham, the character he played in the BBC series Dickensian, is possibly his best-known role.

2) Eduardo Franco as Argyle

Eduardo Franco's Argyle might as well become everyone's favourite new Stranger Things character considering his particularly fun and amusing personality. Netflix's official description of the character states:

"Jonathan’s new BFF. We stan a fun-loving stoner who proudly delivers delicious pizza pies for Surfer Boy Pizza."

27-year-old Eduardo has starred in the films Booksmart and Netflix's The Package, as well as the television programmes American Vandal and Adam Ruins Everything.

3) Jamie Campbell Bower as Peter Ballard

While there hasn't been a lot revealed about Jamie Campbell Bower's Peter Ballard, the character has certainly piqued everyone's interest. Netflix's description of the character states:

"He's a caring man who works as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital. Tired of the brutality he witnesses day after day, will Peter finally take a stand?"

Bower has previously appeared in a number of notable films, including The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He also appeared in two Twilight films as Caius and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 as a young Gellert Grindelwald.

Netflix's description of the character states:

"He is a disturbed and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950s. Disturbingly, Victor Creel's eyes have been surgically removed."

Robert Englund is well-known even among casual horror fans. Freddy Krueger, the infamous antagonist from the Nightmare on Elm Street film series, brought the 74-year-old actor the most of his fame.

He's also appeared in films such as 2001 Maniacs, Strangeland, and Zombie Str*ppers as well as in episodes of Workaholics and The Goldbergs.
